Stiphout was a separate municipality until 1968, when it became part of Helmond. Before that, Stiphout would have been considered a poor village. Now, thanks to its location (between Helmond and Eindhoven), it is populated largely by affluent people seeking a suburban lifestyle.
The spoken language is Peellands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).
